I have an arai rx-q. I love it super light very comfortable and great viewing. Can't really comment of air flow as this is my first full face helmet and have nothing to compare it to.
UPDATE: I have one issue with my Arai that I absolutely HATE! The helmet is supposed to be more of a touring helmet as opposed to the Corsair so that means it's meant to sit upright like the way your ride on the FZ8. But the damn thing is always pushing itself up on my head, I hate it i'm constantly pushing down on the top of the helmet to get it back down. I can't make my chin strap any tighter or ill choke myself. Does anyone else's helmet do this? It doesn't do it if I lay on my tank like a true sport bike, idk if I can get over it, it really irritates me.
Smaller or larger pads? My helmet feels a bit tight, but I like it like that. I fear that is the issue though, it is squeezing my cheeks too hard.
I got this Sigi from Walmart because I quite literally had to run to the store to get one to pick up my bike -. Thing of beauty because the chin lifts - I like that. But what a piece of shit! Noisy. Tight. Uncomfortable. Zero ventilation. I can't see an inch passed my shoulder when I turn my head. I really really hate it, so I'm looking for a good helmet now.
furtive arrived today. One look and there's no way that thing could fit my noggin. Didnt even bother trying it on. Return was an easy process. Should have the replacement XL size by Saturday.
Here she is in all her glory!
